Review of LEPIN 20015 Bucket Wheel Excavator Type A

Hi guys,

Back with the Type A for the LEPIN 20015 Bucket Wheel Excavator Type A. Without further ado, lets get right into it. The design is very different and I am enjoying this more than Type B so far. The post is very picture heavy, you have been warned :-)

Continuing on. The snap fit is great and the instructions are clear too. Sometimes, the colours can be a little confusing but not unmanageable.

The bucket wheel arm is heavy and looking at it, you would think it would be tough to balance it off on the main chassis.

And there you go...its fixed now. The connection initially looked a little fragile but it holds nicely. Unless you plan to dig real loads :-)

The finished pictures. The construction is very good. I made a mistake and didn't follow the manual properly so the mechanism does not work properly but the motor is working nicely so no worries there. More importantly, no parts missing.

The detailing was great as well. Lots of attention to minor things like lights, ladders, railings etc. Definitely a must buy if you are into construction stuff.

Two thumbs up

Review of LEPIN 20015 Bucket Wheel Excavator Type B

Hi everyone,

After a long time away, back again with a review and WIP pictures of the LEPIN 20015 Bucket Wheel Excavator. It is a big set and has a whopping 3929 pieces. And as with this series, it comes in two different configuration type. For now, I will start with Type B and then make the Type A. So without wasting too much time, let's go straight into the good stuff. (Picture heavy so you have been warned!)

The box is big. Approximately 60 x 50 x 12 cm. And as usual, inside the packets are separated into two boxes marked A and B. Whats the logic behind the separation? No idea at all :-).

The excavator comes with a mining truck which is a nice addition. And that's where we start.

 Very nice touch was the tipping action of the mining truck. Ignore the eager boy in the background :-)

After that we go onto the main event. As expected, the quality of plastic is pretty good though some pieces don't line up properly but nothing horrible. The whole construction is very good and engaging. The instructions are clear enough for my 5 year old boy to help out as well.

I had an accident with the type B so I had to break it down and start Type A. It has been great so far and it has been a lot of fun. Tune in again for the Type A

Review of LEPIN 20004 Mobile Crane MK II Type A

Posting the pictures for the Type A for bit of time spent away. So without further ado, lets get right into it

One of the gear shafts was too long so I had to trim it to fit in properly. But other than that there were no issues.

Now moving on to the crane portion of the truck.

The string is fraying a bit at the ends so have to be careful while knotting it but thats a minor issue.

The crane mechanism fixed onto the crane.

The finished kit..with the lifting hook.

Finished kit and its good quality. The only issue I could find was that the "rope" was frayed and it was quite difficult to tie it down.
